I agree.  When the Honorable Lucienne Robillard  our French Treasury Board
minister with her 2/3 French staff controling our tax dollars giving grants
to the over 77 French Self Interest groups in Ontario alone, is now eyeing
the 68% government positions that will become available, this has absolutely
nothing to do with learning languages. Dyan Adam Minister of Official
Languages (French languages actually) an unelected official ignores abused
French seniors in Long Term Care has 75% French staff, then the minority who
are baracudas want raw power!  I've already learned French and German but
mostly NEVER get to use either unless I'm with immigrants - Franco-Ontarions
unfortunately are assimilated English and switch to English constantly.
However, since  I don't have a French  cousin etc. working  in government
and since my spouse passed the year long French course but they are English,
neither of us can think about getting promoted in this French CLASS system.
First they bully their own people in Quebec for decades or centuries.  Then
they blame the English for everything.  Then they whine and threaten
Separation because they are misunderstood.  According to an article in the
Citizen it has cost 200 billion since 1961 for French votes.  Then Franco
Ontarions cry about their French and Green flag which cannot be put up ALL
over English Ontario.  Worse are the separatist teachers - one who taught my
child and nearly destroyed her self esteem (an unbelievable bully who played
the Charles Degaulle tape to the students told them anyone with a French
name who did NOT speak English is a traitor - advising students that parents
could do nothing . She was right, this separatist got  to teach and abuse
students for years (claiming discrimination etc. if a parent dared
complain)!  French members on English school boards!   The traitors are the
ones running our government for a minority while the majority pay for that.
Also having Francophones teaching English in an English school is the height
of arrogance and now a make work project for French teachers (meanwhile
there is a shortage of French teachers in Immersion) The reality is these
Franco- Ontarions like their brainwashed cousins in Quebec CANNOT think for
themselves, they've lived within a patriarchal society for so long, they
think that 26 million Canadians who DO NOT speak French should also be under
a police state - controlled through language for political gain!
